Pediatric Oligodendrogliomas: A Study of Molecular Alterations on 1p and 19q Using Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization
1 May 2003
Abstract excerpt
Oligodendrogliomas (OGs) are rare in children and have not been well characterized from a molecular viewpoint. In adults, losses on chromosomes 1p and/or 19q are common in "oligodendroglial" neoplasms and are highly associated with chemosensitivity and greater length of survival, especially in the anaplastic category. We have analyzed the 1p/19q status of pediatric OGs and compared it with similar alterations in...
